jo

jo is the act of holding, carrying, possessing, owning, or broadly having. The english word "have" tends to be pretty broad, and jo is no different, but the size of its semantic space differs between speakers. Some speakers will only use jo if an object is in someone's hand or they're holding it. Others will use jo for something as abstract as a word having sounds in it, or a language having words in it. Tor some speakers, if person X is borrowing person Y's book, person Y don't jo it anymore, Person X does, even if person Y "owns" it. For other speakers, in that situation both speakers jo the book at the same time, in different ways.
